Track Of The Day: Hello - Homer Hossa (Remastered 2005) (Ralph Records)


After having linked The Residents to Yello in this post, through both sound and label, I was drawn to this early piece of beat ambience. I first came across ‘Homer Hossa’ on one of those NME cassettes that you had to send off for in the early eighties, so it was probably the first Yello track I heard. The cover art of ‘Claro Que Si’ is interesting as well. I know nothing about the artist, Jim Cherry, except that I’m sure he was part of a ‘Face’ feature on comic art/graphic design, around the time this was released. The track itself has always had a Werner Herzog on acid vibe for me. So, not bad at all then.
